Police suspect father in disappearance of Clayton County baby as search continues

Nnakai Pratt 6-month-old baby reported missing in Clayton County (Clayton County Police Department)

CLAYTON COUNTY, GA — As the search continues for a missing six-month-old baby in Clayton County, police are now calling the infant’s father a suspect in the sudden disappearance.

Investigators say the facts surrounding the disappearance of baby Nnakai Pratt are “highly questionable”.

Detectives say the father of the child, Antonio Pearce, told them he was robbed at gunpoint Sunday on Valley Hill Road in Riverdale, and as the suspects left, they took off with the baby who was sitting in a car seat.

Police now say there are inconsistencies and physical evidence that points to the existence of foul play.

Searches using bloodhounds and cadaver dogs have not turned up any sign of the baby.

The father is currently being held on unrelated charges.

Pratt is described as 2 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 11 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Police are using a drone in the search for the baby.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Clayton County Police Department at 770-477-3747 or dial 911 immediately.
